After leaving an expensive, run down Sheraton in Istanbul's business district we resettled in the Acropol in Sultanahmet. This hotel was a perfect blend of old world feel and modern comfort and convenience. The Acropol's manager exemplifies Turkish hospitality by greeting us upon arrival and telling us about the hotel's history. Our room (401) has a beautiful view across the... More

We spent two nights here with six family members--ages 19-81. The location was outstanding just five minutes walk to the Blue Mosque, but the customer service was beyond all expectation. The rooms look like new and the hotel has a very nice steam room and exercise room, which the guests uae for free. We ate one night in the hotel... More

This hotel is literally 100-200 meters from ALL of the major sights in Sultanahmet. We walked to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Cistern, and Grand Bazaar with no problems at all. Our room (304) was a "suite," with a small king-bedded bedroom and an outer room with two chairs that fold into single beds (we used one of... More

Istanbul was wonderful - fabulous architecture, history, blend of cultures, lovely people. The Acropol was a perfect place to stay. The location is convenient to everything and the setting is a renovated Ottoman mansion. Mr. Ozlu, the manager, was exceedingly helpful and the staff were efficient and friendly. They were most helpful in arranging side trips. My room was very... More

So go, and when you do, stay at the Acropol. It... More

My sister and I went to Istanbul for the first time. We did not commissioned a travel agency to book our hotel and flight. We just relied on the trip advisor's review on hotels. Best Western Premier Acropol Suites & Spa has a lot of positive reviews so we booked our accommodation there. And we were not disappointed at all.... More

We stayed a week at another hotel that was noisy and moderately nice, then moved to the Best Western Acropol. All we could say was WOW! Perfect location, quiet street with numerous fine restaurants, cobblestone streets, and close to everything you want to see. The staff treated us as if we were royalty, the rooms are elegant with rich woods,... More

One thing you discover when you browse the tripadvisor reviews for Istanbul is that EVERY hotel seems to have some bad reviews, and not just the cheap ones, meaning that you can't escape mediocrity - or worse - by paying extra. In fact, some of the reviews for the top hotels are evidence of frighteningly poor value-for-money. So the trick... More

We came to Istanbul to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. When we arrived at the hotel we were welcomed with a smile and a soft / hot drink. Our room was beautiful and the manager had arranged for a bottle of wine for my wife. Later at dinner the staff bought out a birthday cake which completely took us by... More
